The S-Class.

Vision accomplished. The S-Class.

Roll up those sleeves and get stuck into the job to be done
while sitting in the lap of luxury. Roll up the garage doors in
the morning ready to work hard step out onto the red carpet at
night ready to play hard. View the rising sun from the drivers
seat and the setting sun from the reclining seat in the rear.
The S-Class brings together the worlds of work and leisure
at a hitherto undreamed-of level. The choice of materials, the
degree of perfection and exclusivity in the interior surpass
expectations for a vehicle of this class.

And it is simply in the S-Classs DNA to shine with technical

innovations as yet unseen in a car. The ultra-intelligent chassis
seems to flatten down the road ahead; the lighting, using
new technologies and a 360 sensor system, illuminates the
surroundings with a speed and precision never seen before.
You will see it, sense it and experience it for yourself: the S-Class
shows the way ahead to the future of autonomous driving.

The first star.

Shining in the morning light too.

The sun lifts the veil of mist from the road, the contours of the
S-Class stand out in sharp relief. The upright radiator grille topped
by the unmistakeable star herald in the new dawn. A new day is
breaking and with it, a new era of mobility.

Overview

Prepare to arrive in the future

without covering a single metre of road.

The quickest route

between two points on your agenda.

The office awaits a promise with a pleasant undertone. For even

when it comes to the matter of work the S-Class is an oasis. With
an air of a purity reminiscent of the coast or forested mountain slopes.
Pollutants have to stay outside; ionisation enriches the air in the
interior of the luxury saloon. You inhale freedom. Even if you currently
find yourself between a handful of skyscrapers and two important
appointments.

The S-Class will always leave you in control,

never on your own.
The vision of autonomous driving is at your fingertips as
you grip the wheel. The S-Class uses its camera and sensor
technology to capture your surroundings comprehensively
and is fully alert to what it records. An intelligent suspension
system processes the data gathered in an algorithm,
multiplying your safety, comfort and dynamism several times
over. Reflection is the better form of reaction.

As soon as it gets dark, the eyes of the new S-Class come to life. The
optional LED High Performance headlamps go into fully automatic
action and reaction, illuminating with precision the areas where theyre
needed, exactly when theyre needed. You can even opt to take the
shine off oncoming traffic if you want to avoid dazzling other road users.
This gives you optimum vision in practically every driving situation
and above all, a good feeling about where youre headed.

It takes three extraordinary letters to crown an S-Class: AMG, the fastest way to
the top. High-performance technologies which have earned their spurs in motor
racing are matched with systematically deployed lightweight materials. The result
is a unique combination of luxury saloon and super sports car: the S63 AMG. As
it is with the technologies, so it is with the materials: only the best, the truly special
are used. Carbon fibre, for example a material that, thanks to its minimal weight
and extreme rigidity, is extensively deployed in Formula 1 racing. Precisely fashioned
and finished by hand, it gives the interior of the S63 AMG an air of exclusive
sportiness.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive.

Looking ahead. Thinking ahead.
Welcome to the automotive future. Which arrived a long time ago as far
as the S-Class is concerned. Lay your hands on the steering wheel and all
your senses will link up. The cutting-edge on-board and external sensor
systems will see ahead for you, draw conclusions for you, react at lightning
speed and thereby prevent accidents. Thanks to radar sensors, a stereo
camera, powerful processors and technical assistant systems. And years

of unstinting research. A further milestone from Mercedes-Benz along

the path towards greater safety and comfort in road transport and a
significant step towards autonomous driving. What will the future bring?
The more research we do, the more perspectives that open up. Thats
how it is with visions. There comes a time when you need a new one. Of
and for the future.

32

Just a second!

33

Everyone has a view on whether its possible to predict whats coming.

Impossible, many would say. A challenge, is what our R&D people reply. But
actually, our engineers were not happy with just seeing whats about to
happen: they had the crazy idea of wanting to influence the future through
actions in the present, for in this way they could help to prevent accidents
ever happening. Youve surely been there before: you are concentrating on
the road ahead, when suddenly a shadow catches the corner of your eye
In those few critical seconds youre best off benefiting from the results of
many years of research. We have developed technologies that allow the
vehicle to keep an eye on everything around it. It can see things coming that
we can at best only guess at for example, by calculating where moving
objects will move to, and when. Using a stereo camera system that can view
things three-dimensionally, in other words spatially. Just like a human can.
But the camera system can then compute this data so quickly that it is
analysed in real time, and can forecast, for example, the future position
of a cyclist.

34

Masterpiece of chassis engineering.

35

What do you call something thats ground-breaking? Something thats prepared to leave
the tried and trusted behind, to reinvent it. Knowing that the real challenge always lies
ahead. Revolutionary? Innovative? Visionary? We call it MAGIC BODY CONTROL. This
chassis technology sets itself up in advance to deal with the road conditions ahead.
One could almost say, it relieves the road of its pock-marks and imperfections. This view
of the immediate future is achieved through a stereo camera positioned behind the
rear-view mirror, which observes the road from two perspectives.

On the basis of these image data and the information on the driving conditions, the
system calculates the appropriate strategy in a fraction of a second that is, in real
time. To an accuracy of one or two millimetres at 120km/h and 25 images per
second. The chassis accordingly regulates the amount of oil needed in each of the
separately controllable spring struts. In this way, bumps in the road can be almost
completely absorbed. Even up to a speed of 130km/h. Even when cornering, the
system always knows what lies ahead.

36

When youre driving in the S-Class, arriving is almost incidental. Both for you and our
engineers, too. Their aim for every journey is to create a space which becomes yours
when you move into it. In a seat that cools you or warms you as desired, and gently tilts
backwards until, relaxed and stretched out in the back, you rediscover the true meaning
of spaciousness. The measure of all things, which adjusts itself to you, supports your
legs and bolsters your back. From the six massage programs available, you select

15 therapeutic minutes relaxing you after what has been, reviving you for whats still to
be done. In an exclusive workplace that offers all you need to make you independent.
You will find the unobtrusive technologies at work here, which turn your trip into one of
incomparable comfort, intuitive to operate. And when you do get out, you are not just
getting out of a car, but of a space specially created for you: the S-Class

First-Class Business Class.

38

Light has never been so focused.

39

There is not much we dont try in our quest to revolutionise every

area of automotive engineering and be the first to bring new
technologies to the road. So why not put light in the spotlight,
and work on it until it is efficient and intelligent enough to be
fit for an S-Class? And we dont just mean that the LED-based
lighting technology must illuminate the road surface better,
the light temperature must be agreeable and the lights must
use less energy compared to conventional headlamps.
S-Class lighting must do more than that. It must interact with
the various sensor and assistance systems, such as optional

Adaptive Highbeam Assist. With the result that if an oncoming

vehicle or a vehicle ahead is detected, the area it occupies is
simply blanked out in the main beam light cones of the LED
headlamps. And when at a standstill, at traffic lights for example,
the brake light is automatically toned down so as not to dazzle
anyone behind. The more than 190 single-chip LED diodes ensure
even greater comfort and safety in traffic. So, light can do a
whole lot more than just be illuminating. In a Mercedes-Benz,
at least.

Diesel and petrol engines.

The rule of the road today: you cant have refinement without efficient technologies. Mercedes-Benz diesel and petrol engines are therefore lighter and measure out fuel
extremely precisely. Whatever system you opt for, they bring together a sense of responsibility and commitment without compromising on driving enjoyment.

V6 engine. Fuel consumption in the S350 BlueTEC can

be as low as 5.5l per 100 km with an output of 190kW
(258hp) and peak torque of 620Nm. CO2 emissions
are just 155146g/km. Plus the BlueTEC technology in
the 6-cylinder engine reduces nitrogen oxide emissions
substantially, meaning that the S350 BlueTEC already meets
the strict requirements of the Euro 6 emissions standard.

V8 engine. Refinement, driving pleasure and responsibility

embodied by the petrol engine with 335kW (455hp).
Thanks to twin turbocharging and intercooling, the S500
has huge reserves of power and can accelerate from 0 to
100km/h in only 4.8 seconds. The engine may give off
its typical, unmistakeably sonorous and cultivated sound,
but fuel consumption stays exceptionally low.

Drive system and chassis

S300 BlueTEC HYBRID and S400 HYBRID.

The particularly efficient and environmentally responsible drive systems combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. The interaction of the engines is
controlled by high-performance, intelligent electronics. If the vehicle brakes, the electric motor becomes an alternator and produces electricity for the lithium-ion battery.

Environmentally responsible, comfortable and dynamic,

all at the same time that is what is expected of a drive
system for the luxury class. In the S300 BlueTEC HYBRID,
Mercedes-Benz combines the 2.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel
engine generating 150kW (204hp) with a powerful hybrid
module. Combined fuel consumption can be as low as 4.4l
per 100km. These figures are possible thanks to efficiencyenhancing measures such as intelligent lightweight
construction, tyres with low rolling resistance and a drag
coefficient (cd value) of 0.23.

In the S400 HYBRID, the enhanced 6-cylinder petrol engine

is supplemented by a compact, lightweight and torquey
hybrid module which is driven by a high-capacity lithium-ion
battery. This drive system delivers an output of 225kW
(306hp) and, in combination with the hybrid module, allows
fuel consumption as low as 6.3l per 100km.

The S350 BlueTEC and S400 HYBRID already meet

the requirements of the Euro 6 emissions standard.
Furthermore, both engines fulfil the strict criteria of
efficiency class A and, in the case of the S300 BlueTEC
HYBRID, even class A+.

Transmissions.
The consumption- and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission stands out by virtue of its high level of efficiency, ultra-smooth gear changing,
dynamic response and reduced noise levels.

7G-TRONIC PLUS. This 7-speed automatic transmission

combines a high level of comfort with driving pleasure
and efficiency. The seven forward gears allow a wide ratio
spread with low engine speed increments between the
individual gears. This leads to fast-responding, fuel-efficient
gear changes with pleasantly smooth transitions. As
7G-TRONIC PLUS is able to skip individual gears, multiple
downshifts are possible for fast and powerful sprints.
The shift characteristics can be preset from economical
to dynamic with the transmission modes Economy,
Sport and Manual. In Manual mode, drivers with
sporty inclinations can switch gears manually using the
DIRECT SELECT steering wheel gearshift paddles as in
motorsport.

DIRECT SELECT. The DIRECT SELECT gearshift includes

the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column which
serves to change between P, R, N and D. It is additionally
possible to shift gear manually using the DIRECT SELECT
shift paddles.

Chassis and suspension.

The S-Class is fitted with the latest-generation, enhanced AIRMATIC suspension system as standard. The innovative MAGIC BODY CONTROL
a technological milestone, premiered in the S-Class is available as an alternative.

AIRMATIC (standard). In combination with variable

damper control, the air suspension system ensures ride
comfort and dynamic handling at a very high level. The
damping at each wheel is adapted to the current driving
situation, and can be set for more comfortable or sporty
characteristics as required.

AIRMATIC air suspension ensures comfort and agility through its ability to raise
and lower the suspension settings as required.

Crosswind Assist (standard). In strong, gusty crosswinds

there is a danger of the vehicle being blown off course.
Crosswind Assist is able to recognise this and help the
driver to keep the vehicle on course. Using the ESP
sensors, course-correcting braking intervention is per-
formed automatically. This braking intervention takes
place at the wheels on the side of the vehicle facing the
crosswind. The resulting yawing motion around the
vertical axis counters the effect of the crosswind. This
reduces track offset considerably. In this way Crosswind Assist gives the driver a greater feeling of safety and
helps to avoid inappropriate reactions, especially when
sudden gusts strike the vehicle.

MAGIC BODY CONTROL (option). This dynamics-oriented

suspension system already adjusts to surface undulations
before the vehicle drives over them. This is made possible by
the combination of the active springing of the suspension
system with the ROAD SURFACE SCAN function. With the
aid of a stereo camera the condition of the road surface
ahead is captured in detail. From the data gleaned the
system calculates in a split second the correct strategy
for adjusting in advance the damping of each wheel so as to
deal in the best possible way with the unevenness ahead.

Integral safety concept.

We are driven by our vision of accident-free motoring. Our integral safety concept brings us a step closer to achieving this aim a holistic approach which paves
the way for new synergy-based technological solutions such as Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive, which combines comfort and safety.

As the inventor of the car we feel that we have a special

responsibility for road safety. This is why we are the first
car manufacturer to have developed an integral safety
concept which seamlessly blends measures to enhance
active and passive safety. The holistic approach is
subdivided into four phases and offers safety solutions for
every situation. It includes systems for safe driving which
help to avoid risks by warning you and coming to your aid
in good time. Our unique PRE-SAFE system kicks in in
the event of danger and activates anticipatory measures
for occupant protection. If a collision should still occur in
spite of all the preventive measures, further technologies
ensure protection as needed. We have also borne in mind
the time immediately following an accident and developed
solutions which can help prevent worse and facilitate
rapid help. A selection of these technologies for the Safe
driving, In the event of danger, In an accident and
After an accident phases is presented on the pages which
follow.

Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus (option).

This package comprises numerous safety and assistance
systems such as DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist
and Stop&Go Pilot, the PRE-SAFE Brake, Brake Assist
BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Blind Spot
Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and PRE-SAFE PLUS.
These Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive technologies help to
relieve driver strain, reduce the risk of accidents and improve
protection for both the occupants and other road users.

DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot

helps the driver to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in
front and also to remain in the centre of the lane. In this
way, the system provides a great deal of stress-relieving
comfort, especially on long journeys and when following
vehicles in a traffic jam. Brake Assist BAS PLUS with CrossTraffic Assist and PRE-SAFE Brake can reduce the risk
of accidents at junctions, rear-end collisions and collisions
with pedestrians, particularly in urban traffic.

DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot takes the strain off the driver in both moving and stop-and-go traffic.

Safety

Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist

provide assistance if the vehicle leaves its lane unintentionally or during lane changes when there is a danger of
collision with other vehicles. One-sided braking interven-
tion can help return the vehicle to its lane and prevent an
accident. PRE-SAFE PLUS extends the functions of the
PRE-SAFE occupant protection system with preventive
measures when a rear-end collision threatens.

Safe driving: Night View Assist Plus (option). Only

20 percent of all traffic travels at night, yet 40 percent
of fatal accidents occur during this time. Night View
Assist Plus makes it possible for the driver to spot people
or animals sooner in the dark. They are clearly shown
up in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster.
A world first here is the combination of two infrared
cameras which provide for a particularly high-resolution

image and a precise thermal image signature. The Spotlight function enables endangered pedestrians across the
entire width of the road to be flashed at four times, so
that the driver registers them even more quickly and the
pedestrians themselves recognise the danger. As stand
ard, the night view image only appears automatically when
a hazardous situation is recognised.

Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the difficult-to-see areas to the left and

driver to react more quickly to dangers at night.

50

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE preventive occupant

protection system (standard). The preventive occupant
protection system is able to identify critical driving situations
in advance and to activate safety systems by way of precaution. To this end, the PRE-SAFE system continuously
evaluates the data from systems such as ESP and BAS,
enabling it to identify driving situations such as oversteer/
understeer and emergency stops. If a critical driving
situation is detected, in a fraction of a second the belts
on the front seats can be reversibly tensioned and the
side windows automatically closed, so that the belts and
airbags are able to deploy their full protective effect
should an impact occur.

The PRE-SAFE anticipatory occupant protection system can mitigate the

consequences of accidents.

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE PLUS (part of the

optional Driving Assistance package Plus). If a rear-end
collision threatens when at standstill, this extension of the
PRE-SAFE system is able to initiate additional preventive
occupant protection measures. These include warning the
following traffic by activating the rear hazard warning
lights at high frequency and locking the vehicle brakes
when at a standstill if the driver indicates that they wish
to remain stationary.
In the event of danger: BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic
Assist (part of the optional Driving Assistance Plus
package). The BAS PLUS anticipatory Brake Assist system
determines the necessary brake pressure to avoid a
collision or reduce the severity of an impending accident
and, if the level of brake force applied by the driver is
too weak, provides the necessary level, if necessary right
up to full brake application. BAS PLUS is also able to
intervene to provide support in situations involving crossing
vehicles. The system also recognises pedestrians in
the area in front of the vehicle and can boost the drivers
braking as necessary here as well.

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE Brake with pedestrian detection (part of the optional Driving Assistance
package Plus). PRE-SAFE Brake assists the driver in
convoy traffic (vehicles ahead or stationary obstacles)
when a rear-end collision threatens and the driver shows
no responses to counter the danger. The aim is to warn
an inattentive driver of an imminent rear-end collision.
PRE-SAFE Brake obtains its situational information from
onboard long-range and short-range radar sensors. It
additionally allows detection of pedestrians when used
in conjunction with a stereo camera. This means that
collisions with pedestrians can be avoided up to a speed
of 50km/h.

Safety

In an accident: PRE-SAFE Impulse (standard). During a

frontal impact the driver and front passenger are subjected
to very high loads. In the early phase of a frontal impact,
PRE-SAFE Impulse tensions the seat belts of the front seats.
In the process the front seat occupants are accelerated
against the direction of the impact and drawn more deeply
into their seats. When the peak loads occur, this retraction
is relaxed as a controlled process. Pre-acceleration and
force limitation enable the occupants to be temporarily
isolated from the crash. This allows PRE-SAFE Impulse to
significantly reduce the risk of injury.

In an accident: airbags (standard). The S-Class has eight

airbags as standard in total. In addition to the impact bags,
there are sidebags and windowbags for the driver and front
passenger. There are also sidebags in the rear and optional
beltbags for the outer rear seats. The beltbag, a type of
inflatable belt strap, reduces the load exerted on the chest
during a crash. If there is an accident, the beltbag strap
inflates to almost three times its normal width. The loads
acting on the occupants are distributed over a wider area,
correspondingly reducing the loads on the chest area.

After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency

call system. This system is able to send an automatic
emergency call using a working mobile phone connected to the vehicle as soon as the restraint system
recognises an accident. At the same time it commu
nicates GPS positional data and other information to the
Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre. Then a voice
connection is established, which can be in the relevant
national language in practically all countries. This
makes it easier to initiate rescue, recovery or towing to
a Mercedes-Benz service outlet within a short time.
Measures after an accident. In order to mitigate consequential damage and, where necessary, expedite the
rescue of the occupants, Mercedes-Benz has developed
further measures. These include automatic engine cut-off,
for example, or activation of the hazard warning lamps
and interior emergency illumination. The central locking
opens automatically, and crash joints between the
door and the wing make it easier to open the doors after
a frontal impact. Mercedes-Benz also provides multilingual rescue guidelines which emergency services can
download online worldwide at www.mercedes-benz.de/
rettungsleitfaden. As you can see, Mercedes-Benz offers
well-thought-out safety whatever the situation.

Assistance systems.
The S-Class does not just influence its surroundings it records them, with short- and long-range radar, stereo and infrared cameras and ultrasound sensors working
together to give all-round vision, thereby making driving safer and more relaxing.

Stereo camera (option). This can capture objects and

pedestrians passing in front of the car and calculate the
path they will take. Intelligent algorithms evaluate the
data and, for a large area of vision, can recognise and
allocate in terms of space vehicles, pedestrians and
different types of traffic signs and road markings that
are oncoming, moving ahead or crossing the path of
the car.

The stereo camera continuously monitors and evaluates what is happening

in front of the vehicle.
The Traffic Sign Assist system is configured on a country-specific basis.

360 camera (option). This system allows you to park

and manoeuvre, giving you an all-round near-real-time
view using four networked cameras. The vehicle and its
surroundings can be displayed in a birds-eye view on
the COMAND Online display, and obstacles below the
level of the windows are also displayed to the driver.
Parking package (option). Active Parking Assist with
PARKTRONIC assists when searching for a parking space
and when entering or leaving parallel or end-on parking
spaces. When activated, it automatically steers the vehicle
into a parking space, relieving the driver of the work of
steering and braking. When the driver engages reverse
gear and confirms the suggested parking space, Active
Parking Assist automatically carries out the steering
manoeuvres up to a speed of 10km/h. The driver only
operates the accelerator and brake pedal, and the parking
procedure is completed after a maximum of seven
manoeuvres.

Traffic Sign Assist1 (part of COMAND Online). This driving

assistance system can detect and recognise speed limits,
no-overtaking signs and the respective signs signalling
their end, and display these in the instrument cluster
and the map view of the COMAND display. If the driver
attempts to drive into a street or carriageway with a
no-entry sign, for instance a motorway access road,
the instrument cluster will display a visual warning and
an acoustic warning will be emitted (wrong-way warning
function).
LED Intelligent Light System (option). For the best
possible visibility on country roads and motorways, when
cornering, on bends and in foggy conditions, the low-beam
headlamps of the LED Intelligent Light System automatically
adapts to the weather, lighting and driving conditions.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus allows continuous long-range
illumination of the road ahead without dazzling oncoming
traffic or vehicles ahead. Plus the high beam is dimmed
automatically for road signs that reflect its light back
strongly. The LED Intelligent Light System thus makes a key
contribution to safe driving.

Perfection means attending to everything, even the air. The AIR-BALANCE package ionises the air and cleans and scents it with one of four atmospheric fragrances,
if so desired. In this way, it does not need to be down solely to the ambient lighting to create a first class relaxing or stimulating S-Class atmosphere.

Ambient lighting (option, standard for the long-wheelbase

S63 AMG exterior.

Power, endurance and speed are the calling cards of the S63 AMG as is evident from the first glance. Where the exclusivity of the S-Class is taken to an even higher
level by the expressiveness of AMG.

The S63 AMG is powered by a V8 biturbo engine with an

output of 430kW (585hp) and 900Nm of torque. It is
recognisable by the V8 Biturbo lettering on the wing.
Its power is controlled by an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT
7-speed sports transmission system with a Controlled
Efficiency mode and an ECO start/stop function. AMG

sports suspension for the long-wheelbase version based

on AIRMATIC ensures maximum comfort even when driving
dynamically.

compound brake discs bearing the AMG logo and finished
in grey, and the AMG sports exhaust system with two
chromed twin tailpipes round off the stylish appearance.

S63 AMG technology.

AMG means having a drive system what will surpass itself time and again. As demonstrated by the S63 AMG: reduced emissions, lower fuel consumption and
a further improvement in performance with an output of 430kW (585hp) and 900Nm of torque.

The systematic use of lightweight materials has resulted

in the S63 AMG being 100kilograms lighter than its
predecessor. This was achieved through using carbon
fibre and innovative materials, a lithium-ion battery and
weight-optimised wheels and tyres, resulting in lowered
consumption, lower emissions and even more dynamic
driving characteristics. Front to rear axle power distribution
of 1/3 to 2/3 provides the high level of driving dynamics
and the vast driving pleasure so characteristic of an AMG
model. It also improves handling on wet road surfaces,
and effortlessly transfers the enormous AMG power to
the road in dry conditions. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT
7-speed sports transmission with a wet clutch helps to
boost performance and is designed to be driven sportily
without any compromises on comfort.

Systematic use of lightweight materials and intelligent detailed solutions have made the S63 AMG even sportier yet more economical than its predecessor.

S63 AMG interior.

It took two and half years to develop the S-Class interior. The aim was to reconcile the demands of extremely ambitious drivers with those of extremely demanding designers.

The sporty appearance of the S63 AMG continues on into

its interior. The AMG-specific seats have been designed for
a dynamic driving style and offer reinforced lateral support.
AMG metal badges on the front and rear seats signpost the
vehicles pedigree. The standard-fit seats are upholstered in

nappa leather of the very highest quality, with contrasting

topstitching. The optional Exclusive package takes the
interiors athletic look a step further, with perforated
Exclusive nappa leather in a dynamic diamond design.

S65 AMG.
The S65 AMG performance in its most exclusive form.

This design idiom needs just three letters to impress:

AMG. The AMG bodystyling consists of a unique front
apron with flics in high-gloss chrome, a rear apron with
an insert in high-gloss chrome and side sill panels trimmed
with high-gloss chrome. Only the eyes looking at these
appointments shine more brightly.

A sporty interior setting with AMG sports seats and AMG sports steering wheel.

An exclusive interior ambience is created courtesy of

the finest leather and a lavishly finished trim. AMG sports
seats in AMG-specific diamond design offer optimum
lateral support. The AMG sports steering wheel is finished
in nappa leather with an airbag cover in nappa leather
and silver-coloured aluminium shift paddles.

The S65 AMG is powered by an AMG V12 biturbo engine

that combines great power with smoothness of operation.
Its 463kW/630hp are good for a maximum torque of
1000Nm. In fact, there may only be one thing that is more
powerful than the AMG V12: your desire to drive it.

AMG Performance Studio.

Sportiness that teases the eye: from the carbon-fibre ceramic braking system through to the illuminated AMG door sills,
the AMG Performance Studio turns the already fit-looking S-Class into an out-and-out Olympian package.

The many appointments and equipment options offered

by the AMG Performance Studio serve to make the
S63 AMG and S65 AMG even more exclusive. An AMG
ceramic high-performance compound braking system is
available for the first time for the S-Class, for example. It
not only ensures the shortest of stopping distances and
outstanding resistance to fading, but also offers braking
performance normally to be found in motorsport. The
AMG carbon-fibre engine cover and red brake callipers
also add to the sporty look and feel of the car. The AMG
Exterior Carbon-Fibre package gives the S63 AMG and
S65 AMG a sophisticated appearance with many highquality carbon-fibre trim elements, such as the inserts in
the front and rear aprons, side skirts and exterior mirror
housings. The AMG twin-spoke forged wheels in titanium
grey with a polished finish are equally expressive; alternatively, they are available in a 10-spoke design with a

polished titanium grey finish or a matt black finish, in all

cases with 255/40 R 20 front tyres and 285/35 R 20 rear
tyres and elaborate forged bolt covers. The dynamic
design continues in the interior with carbon-fibre/black
piano lacquer trim and an AMG performance steering
wheel. Illuminated door sills with AMG lettering and exclusive AMG floor mats also form part of the special
AMG Performance Studio range.
And if youre aiming to drive the S63 AMG and S65 AMG
at its top speed of 300 km/h, you may want to opt for the
AMG Drivers package, which includes driver training from
professional instructors at the AMG Driving Academy.
